I wonder if they lost shikai/their zanpaktou alltogether with their bankai and what the Sternritter are going to do with it. Looks like the Captains are in serious trouble at first I thought Kubo would let them rock a bit haha.

Byakuya is probably going to use Kidou for some time but he's probably not going to win this one on his own(with or without Renji) as he already said so himself "need bankai for this kind of opponent".

I'm a bit pissed Zaraki is not around, I can't wait to see him going "so what?" on the bankai stealing thing.

i think no need we all know that Quincies use the "power outside" that is different from Shinigamis that use the "power inside"

in other words Quincies absorb spiritual powers from the environment; like stealing spiritual powers from shinigamis/arrancars/hollows/ or any other spritually powered objects on the environment

so this Bankai stealing and then Quincy use them as their weapons are just higher form or evolved form of the basic difference between Quincies and Shinigami when it comes to spiritual power consumption/manipulation

I know but the two principles really conflict with each other, I mean how could the quincy use a shinigami's manifestation of their inner soul as their weapon? This kind of stretch would just make quincy OP enough to just absorb shinigami and skip the whole "fighting" part.

"We have an enemy with an unknown ability that takes away our Bankai. Here's the plan, we'll have four captains (tough...3 out of the 4 are fodder captains) release their bankai at the same time with only their VC as back-up!!! Brilliant plan innit!?"
